Hi! I'm a young transplant to Washington, DC serving my country as a civil servant. I moved all around the country as a kid and have traveled extensively outside the U.S. I'm into figuring out how to use technology to work better and and have more fun in life!

I'm terribly addicted to my iPhone, but it's amazing how free having the internet in your pants can make you feel. Being able to pinpoint your location and find a way to your next destination is invaluable—I most recently took advantage of this while traveling in Istanbul earlier this year.

I'm pretty laid back and enjoy spending evenings at home reading and listening to records or getting together with friends for low-key get-togethers usually involving boardgames and a few beers. I'm new to AirBnB, having been turned onto the idea of meeting people from (around the world and defraying the cost of rent!) by my cousin Joe and his wife Julie who are the top AirBnB hosts in the Washington, DC area. I'm giving it a go since my roommate and good friend recently moved out of my awesome apartment in here in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of northwest DC.

My time there was easy, Graham was incredibly hospitable. We rarely crossed paths but Graham was fascinating when we did talk, whether international policy or area bar recommendations. There was even a Metro card waiting next to the towels. A nice touch.

I spent 3 very friendly nights at Adams Morgan. Graham was a very friendly guest, and the appartment is really quiet. The neighborhood around is full of restaurants and bars ; and DuPont Circle is just at 10mn walking. Many buses arond make the location easy to reach. Enjoy your stay !

I came to DC with a friend in support of another friend who was running the Marine Corps Marathon. Graham was responsive and the location could not have been any better-- he is literally in the middle of Adam's Morgan. What's even better still is that he honored a one night refund for me due to Hurricane Sandy, which he didnt have to do.

We had a fantastic time staying at Graham's place. It's located in the heart of Adams Morgan (aka AdMo) where all the action is. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the Dupont Circle metro. We hardly saw Graham because of his work schedule during the week, but the few times we met was great. He was courteous and helped answer any questions we had about DC.

Graham was a good host, he even gave us some bike directions for getting around. Place was as advertised, great location. Skylights were nice. He was accommodating for check-in and check-out times, which I appreciated. There is a bikeshare station super close by if you want to go biking.

Graham is a kind person and a good host. We enjoyed our stay at his place, the room was cozy and clean. He lives in Adams Morgan, which is a cool place to go out for dinner or a drink! If you take the bike then you can explore the city even more, starting from his apartment to the historical district in less than 20 minutes.

Reviews From Hosts

Graham was one of the best guests I've hosted! He and his girlfriend were super easy to communicate with, and they left my place literally spotless. Graham's been an airbnb host himself, and he'll treat your apartment like it's his own. Thanks, Graham!

Graham and Susan were great people to host-kind, clean and very considerate. It was especially nice to be able to host a former Airbnb host--and get high marks! Graham and Susan had a very easy way about them and we would have liked to spend some time with them, but tasting the bounty of Sonoma was a definite priority!
We wish them well in their journey and would host them should they return to Sonoma.

Graham and his girlfriend where perfect guests, really nice and uncomplicated. Everything was great and they left the apartment very very clean and tidy. A pleasure to have you as my guests, very recommendable!

Graham is a Graham is a Graham. I have known Graham since middle school and he has done ceaselessly amazing things since we all left the small town we grew up in. It makes perfect sense that Graham is an avid AirBnBer given his penchant and savvy for technology. He's also just an all-around nice guy and his apartment is fantastic. He's clean and friendly. He'll probably even recommend the best whiskey joint in town if you're nice to him.

I know Graham from when he lived in Minneapolis. He would be a great host with lots of local expertise. He'd certainly be good for awesome neighborhood restaurant tips. As a guest, Graham would apply good karma principles so his future airbnb hosting experiences aren't tainted.

I worked with Graham for a few years when he was a graduate student at the University of Minnesota. He's brilliant, funny, kind, and I know he's now doing very well in his State Department work in both Washington and abroad. I don't see Graham nearly enough now, but would recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy and friendly host or guest. And bonus points if you speak German, Graham's second language. :-)

Graham is a well-traveled, incredibly friendly and intelligent guy. He and I went to college together in Saint Paul, Minnesota. We spent our collegiate years getting to know each other while serving on student congress and as leaders of our respective college publications. During those four years, I learned some rather insightful things about Graham…
- He has an appreciation for good, local food. Any traveler staying with Graham would most likely be treated to an array of great food recommendations that will your stomach craving for more!
- He knows his music, art & history. Knowing Graham, he will have some pretty astonishing suggestions of places to visit/see that most likely are unknown by the average traveler.
- He loves technology!
- He is a funny guy – I mean, who doesn’t want to stay with someone who will make you laugh?!

Graham is about as solid as you can get.
If you're staying with him, he's got plenty of awesome technology hooked up around the house so if you need a break and just want to catch up with The Walking Dead or watch the game that night, he's got you covered.
He's also in pretty much the most bar- and restaurant-dense area of DC, so he can easily recommend eats and drinks tailored to your tastes and preferences.
But as a person, he excels as well. Yes, folks, there's more. He's very well traveled, is politically current, and is just a funny dude, period. So if you'd like some friendship while you're visiting, he's got a stockpile of it in his apartment.

I've known Graham for a few years through a mutual friend and former roommate of his. Not only is Graham is a great host, you won't find a better place to stay in DC. Location is paramount to an enjoyable time in any city, and as I can attest, his place is very accessible. Metro stops are within walking distance and so are a number of great neighborhoods, like U Street Corridor, Columbia Heights, and Mt. Pleasant. If you decide to stay with Graham, you're making a good call.

Graham is my husband's very hip and witty cousin who lives in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in DC, Adams Morgan. We first mentioned Airbnb to him when we realized his roomate moved out. He accompanied me to an Airbnb Happy Hour social and got hooked! Located in the heart of Adams Morgan, you can literally walk downstairs from his apartment and meander through numerous bars & clubs including the famous "Madams Organ." What he is initially offering, the ENTIRE APARTMENT, during the Holidays is an absolute steal! Once he returns and continues to rent out his 2nd bedroom, you will thoroughly enjoy Graham's openness and hospitality. We look forward to reading about future guests' experiences. Oh, and if he's booked? Come on over the bridge to Arlington where you can experience "The Best of Both Worlds....ah Privacy!"
